The Police Department will absorb the duties of nine civilian lay-offs as a result of the mandated, budget cuts, with the potential of losing more positions in FY 10. On October 29. 2008. the City Administrator mandated a hard hiring fi^ze on all vacant non-swom positions through the 2008-09 fiscal year. The OPOA will be in direct opposition in the supplanting of the swom communications supervisor and desk officer positions and will request immediate dispute resolution in an attempt to secure the swom positions within the Communications and Patrol Divisions. SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITIES Economic: Civilianizing the Department will increase the number of swom officers on the street, making it safer and more attractive to those looking to conduct business in the City. Environmental: By increasing the number of swom officers patrolling the City, it is anticipated that crime will decrease and enviroimiental conditions associated with crime will be improved.
